Yosemite

Through my work with Lifeschool I have been guiding backpacking adventures in and around Yosemite National Park for over 15 years. As a result I've gotten to expereince much more than 'the valley' which 95% of the visiting public generally sees. In the backcountry of Yosemite there are countless treasures, rivers, ponds and granite features that only deepen the connection I have with this place. In this gallery are both classic vistas and lesser seen areas of Yosemite National Park, CA - one of my favorite places on Earth.

Tunnel View Dusting

Timeless location, looking equally stark and proud, Yosemite Valley Tunnel View after a fresh snow. Tunnel View is a scenic viewpoint on State Route 41 in Yosemite National Park. Visitors have seen and documented the iconic and expansive views of Yosemite Valley from the overlook since its opening in 1933. The large viewpoint area is located directly east of the Wawona Tunnel portal, as one enters Yosemite Valley from points south. The view looks eastward into Yosemite Valley, and includes surrounding features, such as the southwest face of El Capitan on the left, Half Dome on axis, and Bridalveil Fall on the right.
